Description

Session Goal

The session aimed to execute various astrophysical calculations using Python and analyze the impact of stellar encounters on the solar system.

Key Activities

  • Developed Python scripts to calculate gravitational acceleration of celestial bodies, focusing on black holes and the Sun.
  • Calculated acceleration on the Sun for different solar mass multiples.
  • Computed volume and density of a disk with given parameters.
  • Determined the rate of expansion in astronomy, converting velocities to parsecs per year.
  • Calculated focusing factors for gravitational interactions involving black holes and the Sun.
  • Implemented a function to calculate delta-v for spacecrafts based on celestial body mass and initial velocity.
  • Analyzed the potential impact of a stellar-mass black hole on Earth’s orbit.
  • Conducted research on significant stellar encounters and their implications on the Oort cloud and comet showers.

Achievements

  • Successfully executed multiple Python scripts for astrophysical calculations.
  • Gained insights into the effects of stellar encounters on the solar system, particularly regarding the Oort cloud and comet showers.

Pending Tasks

  • Further research into the implications of specific stellar encounters such as Scholz’s star and Gliese 710 on the solar system’s dynamics.
